I have noticed
git commit uses this path
.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
git rebase uses this path
/home/Steven/jquery/.git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo
So git commit is using a relative path while git rebase is using absolute path.

This causes problem in Windows if your editor does not understand linux paths, e.g. notepad, Notepad2, Notepad++, etc.
